I feel like illustrator @juanitalondo8o.bsky.social who presented at the #SCBWI #scbwisummer24 online conference mentioned that she offers these courses online. She did an amazing demonstration at the conference.

Thanks to @midnightatelier.bsky.social for the heads-up that SCBWI has extended the deadline for #scbwiSummer24 replays of all the sessions to be available until this Sunday! I missed seeing this news. Hurray!
Don't forget to also download all the PDF handouts before they disappear, too. #SCBWI

The deadline has already passed, unfortunately. Not sure if the replays are still available for all #scbwiSummer24 attendees or not?

You had to have registered for the virtual SCBWI Summer Conference #scbwiSummer24. Replays of all 50 sessions were available for a month after the end of the event. It's past a month now, so I'm expecting the replays to vanish anytime now.

A collection of bookmarks featuring the cover art and title I Want to Read ALL the Books by Debbie Ridpath Ohi, spread out on a table. The bookmarks show a girl happily reading with books scattered around her. Red tassels are seen alongside a hole puncher, indicating the process of assembling the bookmarks. The scene highlights the preparation of promotional materials for the book, with vibrant colors and a fun, book-loving theme.
Prepping tasselly bookmarks as I listen to @alioop7.bsky.social's wonderful #scbwiSummer24 session replay. Also still waiting 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 for my author copies to arrive & for access to video here on Bluesky.

A promotional image for a publishing session titled "How to Keep It Together When It Feels Like Your Publishing Career Is Falling Apart" by Alison S. Weiss, Consulting Editor at Alison Weiss Editorial. The design includes whimsical illustrations of clouds, a rocket ship, and a stack of books, giving it a light, creative feel. Alison's social media handles for Twitter, Bluesky, and Threads (@aliOop7) are also listed. The session appears to offer support and guidance for individuals in the publishing industry.
Watching the replay of @alioop7.bsky.social 's session from #scbwiSummer24. EXCELLENT advice about what to do if your agent leaves, editor leaves, your publisher closes, you get a bad review, your book doesn't perform as well as expected, publisher rejects your next project, & much more. 💙 #SCBWI

Image showing a promotional banner for the SCBWI Summer Virtual Conference. The banner highlights a session titled "LeUyen Pham in conversation with Laurent Linn," and the scheduled time. The background is light with a watercolor effect, and there are circular photos of LeUyen Pham and Laurent Linn. A small photo in the top right corner shows a person speaking, and a QR code is also visible on the right. The hashtag #scbwiSummer24 is displayed in the top right corner.
Illustration STYLE is the lens thru which you choose to see the paper (elements of design). VOICE is the experience you bring to that. "My voice is the same in all my books but my style changes all the time."

A smiling man with light brown hair wearing a shirt patterned with sushi illustrations is sitting in front of a red room divider. The background features various flower arrangements and a small Grover plush toy on a desk.
As I work on revised sketches for I'M BUSY (written by @michaelianblack.bsky.social, due this wk!), I have the replay of #scbwiSummer24 Illustrators Intensive on a 2nd monitor.
Love that Laurent Linn has Grover in background. 😁 He used to work at Sesame Street. www.laurentlinn.com/work/about

A promotional graphic for the SCBWI Summer Virtual Conference 2024, featuring a breakout session titled "From Pages to Panels: A Graphic Novel Writing Workshop for Authors" with Whitney Leopard. The session is scheduled for 2:15 PM Pacific / 5:15 PM Eastern.

Excellent tips on writing graphic novels from @whitleopard.bsky.social at #scbwiSummer24 (watching replays this wk). Love Whitney's advice to writers to NOT micromanage the artist. 👍 Lots of info about submission format, what appeals to Whitney, etc.

The cover of the book "A First Time for Everything" by Dan Santat features an illustration of a young boy holding a tour pamphlet, standing in front of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, surrounded by a group of other students. The title is written in playful, handwritten-style font at the top against a clear blue sky. A prominent "National Book Award Winner" seal is placed on the left side of the cover. The author's name is displayed below the title in bold, white letters.
It took @dansantat.bsky.social 3 yrs to create graphic novel A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING, which won the 2023 National Book Award For Young People's Literature. Fascinating to hear him talk about his process!

Honoured that children's book editor Alyza Liu mentioned my picture book resources in her #scbwiSummer24 session! For those curious about picture book format, I have a detailed post on Substack (scroll to end for links to my templates):

This image is a promotional graphic for the SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators) Summer Virtual Conference 2024. It advertises Breakout Session Two titled "Finding the Kid Viewpoint in Picture Book Biographies," scheduled for 2:15 pm Pacific / 5:15 pm Eastern. The session is led by Alyza Liu, whose photo appears on the right side of the image. The background is colorful, and the image includes the hashtag #scbwiSummer24 and a QR code in the top right corner. The bottom left features an illustration of two children reading a book together.
What Alyza Liu (Simon & Schuster children's book editor) looks for in a picture bk biography: a compelling STORY (not enough that subject is important or accomplished), narrative arc, new way of looking at an old subject.
